Can I still use WhatsApp on my phone?

Updated 6 September 2026

The Short Answer

If your number already has WhatsApp Business on it, the connect flow links that existing account rather than replacing it, so the number stays yours. Read this before connecting rather than after, because it is the thing most agents want settled first.

This is the question that stops most agents connecting, so it is worth answering plainly.

Does connecting take my number away?

No. The connect flow has a path for exactly this: a number that already has WhatsApp Business on it is linked, rather than being started fresh.

You keep the number, your history and your contacts.

What actually changes?

PropKaki gains the ability to send on that line, and the replies appear in Chats as well.

Your clients see no difference — messages come from your number either way.

Can I undo it?

Yes. Disconnecting drops PropKaki's use of that number only. The number, the account and the conversations are not affected.

What if I would rather not risk it?

Then do not connect it yet. Your chat link gives you a working bot with nothing connected at all, and a reply costs exactly what it would on WhatsApp — 2 credits on Advisor, 1 on Secretary.

Connect WhatsApp when you have seen what the bot says and are comfortable with it.

Still Stuck?

Ask PropKaki in the chat — it answers most of these directly — or message the team.
